About this Event
returns to St Giles' Oxford with her Trio led by Memphis-born pianist singing songs from her new album - a dazzling collection of evocative new interpretations from a wide variety of genres: songs from classic films, Broadway show tunes and jazz standards, atmospheric French chanson and Brazilian bossa-nova, and even a beautiful new composition by Dankworth herself.
As one of the most highly regarded vocalists in the UK, Jacqui Dankworth is known primarily as a jazz singer, but her broad musical palette also draws on folk, soul, classical, blues, and other influences. Jacqui’s new album Windmills is a vocal tour-de-force of classic songs by Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, Michel Legrand, Sérgio Mendes and others, featuring some of the very best of UK jazz and classical musicians.
This is certain to be a wonderful and memorable evening - a dramatic presentation of musical brilliance that is destined to mesmerise loyal fans and newcomers alike.
"In all her incarnations, she exhibits a subtle control of dynamics and a voluptuous tonal richness that seems to make almost any material sound special." – John Fordham, The Guardian
"One of our finest singers, regardless of category" – Clive Davis, The Sunday Times
